Yes, this is overkill. But now they are very sturdy and I feel confident with the construction.
This is about my i550 project. As far as I know hull #278 is the first sold to Austria, thus the project name shall be i550-AUT1. I will cover my work mostly by posting pictures, so don't expect to find a step by step description, there are others out there who are much more gifted for commenting their work. Last but not least: for all who don't know what this is all about, have a look at i550sportboat.com and i550.org .

Reinforced frames
Once I started cutting the frames and found them to bend under the strain of the hull, I decided to have my frames with at least 12mm [1/2"] thickness (in some places with 24mm [1"] and/or fiber glass reinforcement).
